I checked the rear brakes today and they both have a few mm left lol. I'm going to order some r32 or s3 calipers etc tomorrow. What size discs will be needed for the rears with r32/s3 calipers?

Recommend pads?

Thanks

You need 310 mm vented discs for the rear.

I chose Ferodo DS2500 for the rear.

R32/S3 brakes are sharper. Brembos are even better.

Ed. 30 share the same brakes with the GTI.

Picked up my edition 30 today and over the moon with it!. However I had bad brake fade after some spirited driving  :signLOL:

After searching...
Ive just ordered some ate blue brake fluid.
Been looking for R32 / S3 calipers.

Would 2008 S3 calipers fit?

Am I right in thinking I just need the calipers, carriers, new pads and new 345mm discs?

Do I need the shields and brake lines from the s3 or just order some braided lines for mk5 golf?

Just need a shopping list if someone could please lol.

Thanks  :happy2:

I have to agree, my edition 30 is at stage 2+ and on standard brakes, I have no doubt on a track day I could kill them off with this amount of power, but on the road unless I drive really badly and erratically, constantly braking and accelerating , not smooth at all, or simply like a complete loon and braking down from 100+mph repeatedly, I just don't see how I could over stress the standard breaks on the road. Track day yes, no doubt at all, but on the road they seem perfectly up to the job
